An account of hippopotamus hunting along East African rivers and lakes. Hippos are dangerous aquatic predators, with immense jaws and heavy builds. Natives use harpoons, spears, and water trenches to kill and secure carcasses, while hunters must mind their limited underwater endurance and low eye position.
The text traces the hippo’s submerged endurance, rapid bottom-dashing ability, and air breathing habits. It notes reports from Nile steamers about a hippo outrunning ships at 10 knots and describes various cultural names for the animal. Historical range includes Africa with mentions of Egypt, Arabia, Holland, and Britain, and notes fossil finds alongside reindeer in England.
